Pros

Plenty of work to do, good job security, the work can be rewarding as well as challenging. Not much else that's good.

Cons

Lack of follow through, poor asset allocation, zero work/life balance, management treats you like a pawn, extremely poor compensation when going above and beyond, benefits have declined, I could go on and on but why bother?

Pros

Dedicated staff, good cooperation at the first line and middle management. Excellent medical benefits. Nice facilities.

Cons

Executive level management in Ireland are not lab people, ICON PLC took over management and ran the place into the ground. Many sponsors bailed after the US based leadership was sacked to save on salaries and centralize control
